DOUBLE-ACTION HYDRANT.

EPECIE'IQATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 305,058, dated September 16, 1884.

To all) 1052,0171, it may CON/Coma;-

Be it known that I, J osEPH DEU'rsoH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrants; and I do hereby declare the following tobe a description of the same, and of the manner. of constructing and using the invention, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it appertains to construct and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, the principle of the invention being herein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplated applying that principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a central vertical section, the supply-valve being closed. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section, taken just above the pivotal valve-stem.

A is the-supply-pipe, B the waste-pipe, and G is a chamber connecting the two former.

D is the supply-valve, adapted to tit tightly down upon a corresponding valve-seat in the said supply-pipe. This valve is connected with the valve-stem E, said stem being ot'suitable size at its connecting part c, with pivotal valve-stem F, to adapt it to move freely within the bifurcated end f of the latter. Valve-stem Ehas the shoulder cl at a suitable point to adapt it to rest upon the prongs of said stem E. Stem F is pivoted at and at its end, opposite to its prongs, has depending from it the waste-valve G, said valve being seated at the top of waste-pipe B. Between valvestem F and roof of chamberCis theinterposed presser-spring H, adapted to maintain valve G upon the mouth of waste-pipe B.

The mode of the operation of my device is as follows: Vhen it is desired that the supply of water should be cut off, valve-stem D, being depressed by device named, shoulder cl strikes the forks of pivotal stem F and presses said stem down, thereby lifting the opposite end of said pivotal stem, which lifting lifts valve G, and suffers the unused water to escape through pipe B. water, shoulder at is lifted from the forks of stem F, which permits the resser-spring H to automatically press down the stem F, and thereby toclose the waste-pipe by the valve G.

I claim-- 1. In a hydrant, the combination, with valve D, and valve-stem E, having reduced diametric section 0 and shoulder d, of waste. valve G, and pivotal valve-stem F, said stem having bifurcated extremity f, substantially as set forth.

2; In ahydra'nt, the combination, with supply-pipe A, chamber 0, and waste-pipe B, of valve D, shouldered stem E, pivoted valvestem F, waste-valve G, and pressenspring H, substantially as set forth.

In. testimony that I claim the foregoing to be my invention, I have hereunto set inyhand this 17th day of March, A. D. 1884.
